Need some cool new wrist decor? We found high-end designers making zipper-style wrist ornaments, so we thought we'd make some mock bracelets for those of us on budgets.
To make a bracelet you'll need:
- Two 18" pieces of Rexlace Duo (we used Neon Orange/Yellow)
- One 1 yard piece of Rexlace Duo (we used the same color)
- 1 Double "C" Clip Bracelet Closure
- Clear-drying craft glue
- Scissors
- Recommended: tape and a Macrame Project Board or hard flat surface
Directions:
- Tie the two 18" pieces of Rexlace together, then tape to your Macrame Project Board, or other flat surface. Set the strands about 1/4" inch apart, keeping them parallel.
- Center the 1 yard strand of Rexlace behind the vertical pieces. Follow the illustrated instructions below for preforming the Zipper Weave
- When the bracelet is woven to the appropriate length (about 6 inches,) tie off (overhand knot) and glue the ends into the bracelet closure. We wrapped the ends with the excess Rexlace to bulk up the ends for a tighter fit in the base of the closure. If you're using a slow-drying craft glue, use binder clips to secure the ends while they dry.

Tah-dah! This fun bracelet can be worn as soon as the glue dries.
